Random ramblings from the cluttered brain of a Brit ex-pat North Devonian trying to keep cool in the steamy summers and warm in the frosty winters of The Great White North.

Postcard from Slovenija

My second Postcrossing postcard has arrived and this time my card is sent from the town of Jesenice in Slovenia. It shows a painting of the old blast furnace and iron works building in Jesenice, painted by Austrian artist Heinrich Wettach (1858-1929).
This postcard took 10 days to get to me and travelled 6,879 km
(4,274 miles). Thank you, Jose!

I have collected postcards since I was a child and have many, but most of mine are vintage. Although when we travel I always buy some in each city. I guess you have to give your address to this site – that would scare me a bit. Is the address given only to the person sending you the card?

About Me

Enjoying life! I'm well over the halfway mark so I'm not wasting any time grumbling. Empty nest Mum to two young men who are embarking on life's journey, and doing it with style, confidence and enthusiasm, accompanied by their lovely wives. And now I'm Nana to three gorgeous little boys and a beautiful little girl. Lucky me!
